" Lets get back on the subject... These guys were STUPID!!! Plain and simple!! Their ethnicity is not the reason for their stupidity. It is unfortunate that they may not have had the best upbringing. No one is brought up perfect which is obvious by the way you speak on this blog. Everyday there is violence in the world, in our community; committed by people of every ethnicity and age, even in our area. Not too long ago there was the guy that beat up his pregnant girlfriend and put her in the hospital. I didnt see any remarks about him being white. So maybe instead of peoples ethnic backgrounds we should be discussing gender??? Males are more violent!!!

That is just as stupid as saying that all the violence is due to one ethnic background. Instead of arguing and causing more hate and discontent DO SOMETHING in your community to make a change. Help to educate these kids and show them there is another way. "

Maybe you shouldnt be skipping grade school, then you just might be able to figure out how to google something you have no clue about. Your mexican, you tell me what a bolo is. Im willing to bet that your immigrant daddy is wearing one right now. Until you can come up with something intelligent to say, you might as well move on. "

" I would but a i have something better to do like work a full time job take car of my family and kids, unlike most of you ( mexican americans ) that only work a few months out of the year and expect to live off of welfare the rest of the year with your food stamps and driving a new truck that is the life i would love to have NOT !!!!!! i take pride in what i do and not having to ask for help or get hand outs from someone. I have never heard of a mexican american i only know of AMERICANS you don't see me saying i am a white american or black american i am a AMERICAN and only a AMERICAN so why don't you load up your new truck and your fifteen kids with different last names and head south when you cross over in to mexico i will fill alot better. O and by the way i am a AMERICAN INDIAN we were long before you or anyone else we are the ture americans not some import from down south GO HOME. "

" Is that all you can say to sound intelligent? You have nothing to say to defend your self. Maybe you should be the one playing in traffic. Instead of a white robe maybe a sumbrero, or better yet a cowboy hat, sliver-tipped boots, and a bolo. Those cars move a little faster than a bull padre! Dont forget your red cape! You may want to quit your day job pickin onions, they must be getting to your head. "

" Like i said before go play in traffic, but it might be more fun if you wear your white robe and pointy white hat while you do it. Our president would be so proud. "

" Why is it that you have to refer to yourself as a mexican american? If you were truly proud of the country you live in, you should just call yourself an AMERICAN. But, that is the problem. Most hispanic people don't even like this country. They are only here to help support their family in Mexico, and milk the system dry. Ever tried to get government assistance with white skin? Good luck! Unless you are brown and drive a practicly brand new escalade, you my friend are on your own. I am not racist, but I do see where chim is coming from in some of his comments. The most of them are true. This country leans toward helping the outsiders, and ignoring the ones who are legaly here. If I were to go to move to Mexico, dont you think I would have to learn spanish? So, why is every can and bottle marked with english and spanish? Certainly they wouldnt put english on a product from Mexico. Also, what is with the flying of the Mexican flag in America? A person would probably be beaten to death in Mexico for waving an American flag. So what makes it ok for you to do so? American should not be split into several different types. If you live in this country and love it, you would only raise one flag, speak one language, and call yourself one name. AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!! Thats it! "

" why are all you people bashing chim richalds dose it hurt when someone is telling it like it is. if all the illegals citizens as you call them would go back to where they come from the crime would be almost gone insurance would be far less of a cost, us tax paying people would not have to pay for all the hospital bills you people skip out on and repairs to our car when you hit and run like the cowards you are. why do you want to drag us down go home and try to bring your country up to a respectable place to live then if we come acrossed to your place you can write what ever you want about us because we will be the ones that are not wanted and if you can't take the heat GO HOME we don't want you here. keep up the good work chim i like what i am reading.....

Are you all proud of yourselves?

You ought to know who I am by now.

Grow up, children PLEASE. My generation made you and perhaps they needed to be hit upside the head and asked what they were thinking. It's not funny. "

" To Chim Richalds: Illegal Citizens??? When did "God" put up borders and name people Illegal Citizens??? That was white man's doing and you know that.

Us beautiful people won't assasinate our Presidents and yes we do know about political issues. I feel that you are somehow connected with social work and if you are? You are totally in the wrong place...we want to respect our community, however, we want our community to respect us. We are human being and some of us with so much dignity and love that it hurts when you talk us down...

" chim whats the deal you must have one hell of a chip on your shoulder I happen to know all of the people that have been involved in the hurting, and the people who have been hurt in the articles above.And really it is sad that all of this is happening I know that you can label all of us that are brown baldheaded and tattooed but what does that do for you?The real thing that we should be paying attention to is the fact that people are getting hurt or even worse dying!! I dont know where or how you grew up but this is just some of the stuff all of us have gone through here in Ontario while growing up and all that seems to be happening is that it is getting worse.All I'm trying to say is the negativity that you are brodcasting on this page helps nobody!!! And as someone who is proud to be from the -O- more negativity and tension is the last f!@#$g thing we need. The Golden Child "

" Brother Chim is right keep your kids on a short rope and when they get out of line kick there butt, its time the schools bring back the paddle and whip some butt when the kids get out of line.

all you hispanic people that want to fly the mexican flag while driving your lowrider car GO HOME AND FLY IT THERE we don't want it here, there is only on flag to fly and it better be RED WHITE AND BLUE.

If you want to be AMERICAN and have all the perks that go with it grab a m16 and go to IRAC and fight for a year if you make it out then i will call you a AMERICAN not untill, GOD BLESS AMERICA

And one last thing GHIM RICHALDS FOR PRESIDENT

Yes Chim is my brother "

" Once again, I am just saying it as it is. Anyone who denies that I am correct in anything that I have said:

1) is hispanic
2) has no spine
3) has a mental illness
or
4) has just been brainwashed by the Rev. Jesse Jackson about "racism".

By the way Im half/half too. Just dont like poo colored half. "

" One's ethinc background does not determine ones actions. I can only be proud to come from a mexican american family where my parents, brother, cousins, aunts and uncles are respected in this town and where they respect others. My parents have taught me the importance of education and hard work. We can only pray that this violence will stop. "

" I guess it's always easier to classify things as "us" and "them". If these kids were white Mr. Richards I'm sure you would still find a way to fence them into an sub-area that is still labeled "them".
God bless their families -and yes, I know for a fact that they do have responsible family members who love them. "

" to illegal citizen and the world we live in which you dont matter:

Sorry, I must have offended you. For that I have to say, GOOD. You are the type of people who have to be politically correct in every move you make arent you. I call that a weakness. That is what is wrong with people anymore. Instead of sticking with what you truly know is right, you have to candy coat it because you are scared. I just say it like it is. If you dont like it, then turn around, and walk away. You will never stop racism because of scum that comes from other countries and think that we owe them something. I owe nothing and refuse to pay for them in any way. If you speak to me in spanish, I will tell you where to go in english. Other cultures have infested our country and we just go on ignoring it. You are the problem, Not me. "

" Im sorry everyone, but I think I have to agree with chim (funny name). No matter how messed up and racist it sounds, he or she is right. The grocery store thing is true. Every time I go to Red Apple is see exactly what chim is talking about. The parents just let it happen and do nothing to control their children. I dont want to offend anyone like chim did, but after reading this blog, he is 100% right. "

I cannot believe you would lower yourself to say such things....And I will have you know that there are alot of white gang members as well as blacks , hispanics , latinos , chinese....need I say more ?? MAY GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL BECAUSE YOU NEED IT. "

" Chim I've been to many grocery stores and I have seen kids running around of all races. If you have lived outside of good ol Ontario you may see this. I'm sure the store in Butte, Montana probably has more Caucasians running around the store. Ontario has a high Hispanic population that is why you see this. You have to make valid points if you want to critique a race. Just let it go. "

But you wangstas need to get better at shooting and stabing.
15 to 20 shots fired and only one was killed,pathetic.
And six men with big sticks and knives can't kill ONE man, now that is a disgrace. "

" Mr. Richalds---wat you say is true but please dont group all hispanics in this catergory. ive seen some white trashy looking kids running wild in stores too, and if you cant admit that youre not only a racist but a liar. I am half white, half mexican and i get to see both sides of the fence. See, my skin is white i have blonde hair, and green eyes. people dont even know im mexican. it hurts to hear people like you with so much anger against another race, but i do understand it. im not here to defend gangs or stick up for anybody. i just hope your profession doesnt allow you to use your prejudice against people who try to do good.

" So be it that people have their thoughts on the situation. It'll always be that there are such racist and ignorant people and that they are usually the ones that lead such hateful, disappointing lives. There will always be somebody else to blame for their misfortune.
There is a comment that only the hispanic people will comment back but being that I'm not, what does that make me? It is disappointing that the names listed always seem to be hispanics but they are not the only ones to blame, I'm sure if we were to look at the prison/jail system, white people are there too. "

chim richalds wrote on Jan 8, 2009 1:28 PM:

" One more thing, the older generation are the ones who made the younger generation, and failed to teach them any respect. Been to a grocery store lately? Whos children are running loose around the store being loud and having no respect for their parents or any other person? Not the young white kids. Keep guessing, Im sure you have seen a few that are not being supervised. No, not the black kids. Give up? If you havent guessed yet, you must either be blind, or you never visit the grocery store.

Yes, its your kids consuelo. Discipline your children and speak to them in english why dontcha. "

chim richalds wrote on Jan 8, 2009 1:18 PM:

" It is what it is. Or should I say, it is what it "ALWAYS" is. Until I see anything different, thats my opinion and Im not wrong.

Oh, and to answer your question. Yes I am. So are quite a few people in this area. So bash me if you like, you will only prove my point. The reason I say that is that only "you people" (I wont say because that would be racist, you cry babies) are the only ones to comment back and "try" to defend your race.

In the end, Im still right. "

" You must be racist. Not all people with a hispanic last name are involved in gang activity. If you break out of your little box and actually speak to some of the older generation, you would learn that they don't like the way these kids are acting either. They have worked hard to provide a better life for their families and this is how they are repaid. I think you would be a little irritated if your child turned your last name into a negitive sterotype...Mr. richalds. "
